I have the URL that you can get a copy from but you
need access to Oracle's network. Wrote about it in Select Journal.
In 1999 - I wrote:
- DUL - Data recovery UnLoader
- DUL or Data recovery UnLoader is a utility that that will generate either a data file or an Oracle Export file by reading the database's datafiles! Cool huh?
- Apparently it is for internal use only by the Oracle Technical
Support staff only.

- There is one catch. I have been informed that it is available
for Windows only.
- Oracle�s DUL Data recovery UnLoader
- Many many moons ago in a previous issue of Select (1999), I wrote of
an internally used product by the worldwide support team. This
product was called the DUL or Data UnLoader.
- The utility will read an Oracle datafile and extract data from it. Even from a crashed database. In fact, it was written as a recovery tool for a totally �knackered� database. The output is a SQL*Loader control file and its data input file. All it requires is the datafile. It does not even need the SYSTEM datafile. Because it is such a power tool, if used unethically, the information gathered can be damaging to the company.
- At that time, it only ran on Windows and I gave a URL where it can be found.

- Only one catch. The site was accessible only within
Oracle. If you have a �friend� working at Oracle, you may want to
ask him/her nicely to get it for you. If you have a genuine need
for the product, you might want to try Oracle Worldwide support. Do
I have a copy? Maybe. Try mailing to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] .
- DUL is NOT a supported Oracle product, it is not even an Oracle product. DUL is for support and internal Oracle use only.
- Since then, the product has been enhanced and is current version is Ver. 8 and there is also a Solaris port.
- The irony of this product is that there is a rumor that the author of the program would like to commercialize it as he developed it in his own time but Oracle is not having a bar of it. I believe negotiation may be going on.

Hi Tanel,
A free DUL in C would be very nice to have and to study the source code
of. maybe you should also contact Kurt van Meerbeek of jDUL project on
sourceforge, maybe you have some ideas or info he doesn't have that
could help his efforts or of course Richard's efforts.
kind regards
Pete
